Dwaine Seeing as you have that many people in your tree, it is not suprising that you are getting hundreds of smartmatching. I think nearly all my surnames I have you have cause every time I click on a new name, it usualy says contact Dwaine. I suppose you upload your tree back on here quite alot.

Sorry for sounding dim Wayne but I am confused about GEDCOM still, even after reading your reply to Claire. The only tree I have is on this site, can I transfer it to Gencircles which I have just joined after your suggestion. elaine:))

I just put my tree on. I thought it would be a lot harder than it was. How do you update the tree when you find more people?? Guess I'll find out.

Hi all My tree has been on a few months and I have about five matches. I also found some common ancestors with someone who had put an 'n' instead of an 'r' in the middle of their names. Even though the dates, places and first names matched up the Smartmatch system didn't pick them up. I found them by trawling the site. Lynne

thanks Wayne. Have had a look & found link with someone I'd already been in touch with, but hope for more as the site grows. Can't hurt to have your details on lots of different sites. Helen

You will find it here:- http(:)//www(.)gencircles(.)com/ - remove the brackets. It has an item called smartmatching where it matches your tree against all the other gedcom files and returns the results. It also has a Genes Club with forums from every country. Give it a try and upload your gedcom file. Regards Wayne
